If your demands on soil and water supply are met in a way that is appropriate to the species, hydrangeas can beautify many places in the garden with their abundance of flowers.

The farmer's hydrangea likes partial shade

Partial shade ideal for farmer's hydrangeas

The flowering shrubs prefer partly sunny, partly shady conditions during the day, similar to those in which farmer's hydrangeas grow in their natural habitat. A light-shady location under tall trees that are not too dense is particularly good for them, where they also get the desired humidity. The canopy protects them from the strong midday sun, but still lets enough light through to the undergrowth. Otherwise, farmer's hydrangeas also thrive in sunny locations, provided that sufficient watering is ensured.

tips and tricks

When planting on buildings, pay attention to the rain shadow. It is often too dry on the east side of houses in particular, because the westerly wind that prevails in Central Europe ensures that little precipitation reaches the east facade. In this case you have to water regularly and intensively or install automatic irrigation right away.
